Quique Sánchez Flores has been able to change him the face to the Espanyol. A recognizable team that opts by the game asociativo and a high pressure to compete to the maximum. But with technical limitations and defensive distractions that prejudice him. And an evident fault of goal that prevents him win more. The exit of Caicedo, another offend more.
The Espanyol always motivates against the Barça. It is his individual 'party of the year' and like such tries to prejudice to his rival maximum. Logical. But the aggressiveness of does years has become a moderate intensity that finish being demolished by the Barcelona game, patient and with Messi like plunger.
The club blanquiazul has not begun well the course and have gone out doubt surroundings to the project of Quique. To the team is missing him verticality and does not have a clear reference that can throw the team to the back. It plays well, but it is not deep and finish committing defensive failures that condemn him.
Positive precedents
The Barça does not lose home in front of the conjoint parakeet from the year 2009, when Of the Crag, with two goals, left in silence the Camp Nou. Although Touré Yaya reduced the advantage visitor, the Espanyol carried the victory by 1-2. It was one of the few tropiezos of the Barça of Pep.
It will be the first derbi of Valverde like Barcelona technician, since in his stage like blanquiazul already lived some how many. And the 'Txingurri' recuperará the usual habit to do the photo with the rival technician, something that Luis Enrique did not want by his bad relation with Quique.
